Big Nose. Fat Legs. - A Response to Barbie Doll

A big nose? Fat legs?

How pathetic-to say those things to me.

I know I'm beautiful,

I don't mind what they see.

 

A big nose? Fat legs?

But I'm smart and healthy,

intelligent and kind.

I guess beauty was never meant for me.

A big nose. Fat legs.

They are ruining me.

I must rid them immediately.

Then they will see.

 

 

"Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super-heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie."
